Hi Friends! Today I am sharing a quick and easy card using the brand new Floral Frames Bundle!! This is a great bundle to add to your collection if you like the floral look. The stamp set is Floral Frames and the die set is Foliage Frames Thinlits. You can get them as a bundle and save 10% on both of the items, or you can get them separate.

The Foliage Frames Thinlits are perfect as the set comes with two dies of each leave! so it makes it super quick to die cut many of these leaves.

I would recommend that you die cut several of the leaves in multiple shades of green. This will make it faster for you when designing or putting together your cards. I tend to layer the leaves until I like the design, so this process works pretty well.

On this card, I decided to do some water coloring using the water color pencils. You can watch the video to see how to color with them. And to add a finishing touch I added Wink of Stella!! this is the best tool to have!! It adds that layer of shimmer that makes your project look gorgeous! If you don't already have one, you need to add it to your next order! no kidding!!

Watch the video tutorial below, where I go over measurements, tips and tricks on how to make this card. You will see that this card is so easy to duplicate!!

Below is the supply list for all the items I used to make this card. You can click at any of the images to go to my online store, where you can buy any of these items!! thanks a lot!! I appreciate your support, also don't forget about my ordering incentive this year!!

Hello Friends! today I am sharing a card that I will send to a dear friend who recently lost her husband. I don't like to stock up on Sympathy cards, as they always make me feel sad. These type of cards usually get made on a needed basis..

The cards, that I am featuring this week, showcase the designer series paper and this is not exception. Nature's poem designer series paper is part of the promotion ending in July, Buy 3, Get 1 FREE!! so don't miss the opportunity to stock up on your favorite designer series paper!!

From the picture, you can see today's card is very easy to duplicate. I used the design of the leaves for this card, as I thought it would be very appropriate for the occasion. I added the embossed leaves made with the same colors as the DSP, as this will make the card to coordinate in full.

I embossed the leaves using the coordinating Nature's Roots framelits. This set not only does it cut the images on the Rooted in Nature stamp set, but it also embosses. This set contains three coordinating embossing leaves.

Because I didn't want to have too many layers on the card, I stamped the sentiment onto the designer series paper. I used Blackberry Bliss, because it is a dark color, and it would stand up even with a busy designer series paper. You can see it on the close up picture below.

Watch the video tutorial below, where I go over measurements, tips and tricks on how to make this card. You will see that this card is so easy to duplicate!! let me know if you have any questions!! I always love to hear from you.

Hello Friends!! Today I am sharing a quick an easy card which I made with Nature's Poem Designer series paper!! we are almost about to end July which means that the promotion of Buy 3, Get 1 FREE will end soon!! so this is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite designer series paper!!

Below is the list of all the designer series paper (DSP) packs included in this promotion!! and the cards being featured this week will be using the Nature's Poem DSP, but you can easily change the DSP to have a different look!!..

As you can see from the pictures, the main design or layout of my card is showcasing the designer series paper. One thing that I love about this layout is that you can use both sides of the same sheet of paper! Usually both sides are so beautiful that is hard to decide which side to use. Well this layout fixes that problem and you get to use both sides!! is that not cool?? I thought so too!

The leaves are die cut with the coordinating Nature's Roots framelits from this suite. The cool thing about this set is that not only does it have the framelits, but it also has some embossing dies! in this particular set, it contains three embossing leaves!

Did you see the little leaves trinkets? Are these not gorgeous?? I love how well this trinket embellish the card!! and of course I had to add a bow made with the Nature's Twine that coordinates well with this suite! I love the color coordination among ink pads, designer series paper, cardstock, embellishments! it makes it so easy to create cards or any other paper crafting project that you have in mind.

Watch the video tutorial; you can see how easy this card is to duplicate. I go over all the dimensions and tips for this card!! If you have any questions, please do leave me a comment, I always love hearing for all you! :)

Hello Friends!, I am sharing today the cards we made yesterday during the Facebook live event! if you don't know about these events, I usually hold a Facebook live event every Thursday at 7pm CST in my Facebook page HERE where I show you how to make quick and easy cards, so stop by and check the events replay, you might feel inspired and create some cards with the ideas I show..

For this week, I decided to use the healing hugs stamp set, but pair it with sentiments from other stamp sets.. Healing hugs stamp set has beautiful sentiments around "get well soon" and though I love having these sentiments, yesterday I wanted to use this set for Birthday theme cards!! and I honestly loved all the cards created with this set!

Here is the first card, it uses Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green, for this card, I got the sentiment from the perennial birthday stamp set!

This next card is actually a gift card holder, I think this was my favorite card of the night because it is a new "fun fold" that is super quick and easy!! and I love finding cards using fun folds that does not involve too much complexity, and you will see this one is just perfect, I think I will be making so many of this card, think of graduation cards, birthday cards, Christmas cards, Teacher appreciation cards, etc!! it is just perfect!!! watch the video tutorial to see how this one is done!!

Here is how the inside look, the bottom part of this card actually make a little pocket so you can add the gift card!!

And below is a close up look of this gift card holder front to show how I came up for a solution to have it closed, please check how I added the banner at the bottom of this card, because this actually helps to have your gift card holder shut, it is very subtle but I love that the design itself has some functionality!! in this case the banner slightly goes over the tranquil tide die cut.. see.. is that not clever???

This final card, is very simple but it uses the piece of tranquil tide that I used to die cut the stitched label, so you can see how I save cardstock.. this is one of my favorite tips..

Anyway, please be sure to check out the video tutorial where I show you how to make these 3 cards!! I go over measurements and tips and tricks to make these cards super easy!! let me know which one is your favorite card!! as I shared before I think the card holder is mine.. :)Happy stamping!

Hello Friends!! today I am sharing a card using the healing hugs stamp set, this is one of the new stamp sets from the new catalog, and I am just in love with it!!, I really like the sentiments and the font on these sentiments!! especially as the sentiments on this set are focused on sending cards for your loved ones when they are going thru sickness..

I honestly can say that I almost never have on hand "get well soon" cards or "wishing you a speedy recovery" cards, or "sending you healing vibes" cards, so I love that now I have a beautiful set that covers these sentiments for me.. there is also a sentiment that can go inside of a card to make it even more special! so like I said this stamp set is so great to have.. Plus lets face it the rose on this set is just stunning and you can always mix the images with other sentiments on other sets, who wouldn't like to have roses for a birthday card, or a mother's day, or a thinking of you card, like a say this whole set is just fabulous to have in your collection!

For this card I used the new silver and petal pink baker's twine, and it is so nice and soft to use!! I paired it with peals on the card, just to add a little something, but you might as well use rhinestones since there is a little of silver on the twine, and I use a little bit of the wood textures designer series paper, which by the way is still on promotion this month.. you buy three packs of selected designer series paper, and you get one pack for FREE, so this is the time to stock up on designer series paper!!!

You can see the video tutorial below where I go over dimensions, and other tips and instructions to be able to duplicate this card! I am sure you will enjoy watching this tutorial, as usual this card is every quick and easy to make, and you can make as many as you want to have them ready whenever you want to send a encouraging note to a loved one going thru some sickness..

Also here is the supply list for all the items I use to make this card, you can click at any of the images to go to my online store, where you can purchase any of these items!! thanks a lot!! I truly appreciate your support, also don't forget about my ordering incentive this year!!

Hello Friends!!! Today, I want to show you the three cards we made last Thursday during the facebook live event!! as I mentioned in earlier posts I am showing you how to make cards with the suggested starter kit!! Remember, this month, when you purchase the starter kit, you get an ink pad family of your choice for FREE in addition to the already great deal the starter kit is!! you can read all the details HERE as well as watch both the suggested starter kit video and a video I made regarding the perks we get for being part of my team!!! let me know if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to help you.. :)

So now lets talk about the cards I showed last Thursday!!! all of them are super quick and easy, as you can see..

The little rhino was die cut with the animal friends thinlits!! so no fussy cutting on this one!!! it went super quick as you just line them up and run it thru your big shot and voila! all is done..Please note that on the sheet of designer series paper, there are kangaroos, rhinos and Giraffes, however they have both images facing both sides, one side you can die cut, but the opposite side you will not, so that one would have to be fussy cut.. you see what I mean on the video tutorial.. The leaves on this cards were also die cut with the thinlits on this suite!

The following card I used the stitched shapes framelits and the layering ovals to cut the critter on this side, if you don't have these items, you can make rectangle cut with your trimmer and still get the same look or layout..

Here is a close up picture of this card.. I honestly think that I could have added some wink of stella to the birds or the leaves to add some shimmery to this card, but I wanted to stay as much as I could with the items on the starter kit and I had already used framelits not included.. lol

The final card was as well super quick and easy, though I had fussy cut this rhino, as I had not found out that this one could be cut with the thinlits, lol, so it would be even quicker!!

and I close up picture of this card!! so you can see better the details.. :)

Here is the video tutorial from the facebook live event where I go over measurements, tips and other instructions on how to make these cards.. I really enjoyed so much playing with the Animal Outing suite!! all cards I have made this week had been so quick and easy, and I am sure you can duplicate all of them, specially if you get all the items on the suggested starter kit..
